Your words are all you have to make a good first impression on someone, and yes intelligence is an important consideration when i am looking for a partner. i am not saying i expect perfect english and grammar, i don't use it, why would i expect someone else to. i do expect, when receiving email, to at least be able to read it. i know that english is not the first language for a lot, but i am pretty sure, most people are familiar with basic punctuation and sentence structure. It does not take a lot of time to reread what you wrote, nor is it impossible to find help. There are many programs out there that will spell check for you. There are also friends who can help.

www.openoffice.org Free word processing, spreadsheet, database, presentation, and drawing software compatible with Microsoft Office and virtually all other office software. Did I mention it is FREE? mrpettigrew, English may not be your first language, but as you are attempting communication with people who primarily speak English, you would do well to work a little harder on your posts to make certain they are clear. Nothing fancy, not perfect, just clear. No, a spell checker does not solve all problems, but the use of "too" rather than "to" can be more easily forgiven than the use of "Inglish" rather than "English".

heartfeltsub -> RE: correct grammer (5/11/2006 5:55:46 AM)
While i am one who prefers the correct use of words, spelling and a lack of grammatical errors, i also make typos and occassionally make spelling and grammatical errors. And while i also would agree that allowances should be made for anyone for whom English is a second language, i have noticed a strange pattern in the OP's typing and English skills. In his original post, he correctly spells the word English numerous times. "as i can not spell in english good do not have a spell checker and problems finding the correct words in english to express serlf to others in a style of great intrest i am courious as to the fact people make such a big deal over these things and show less concern about the person involved then the grammer used. I am not refuring to rudness but simple spelling nothing more . i guress for all here or the greater part all who do not write the language to their standards are excluded as fools or stupid . Comments welcome , " but then in his next post, he doesn't spell it correctly. "you are ture in not seeing generaly people slaming others whos first language in fact is not inglish but most often it is a think not asked or known when the comments are made just assumed " In one post he says that he doesn't have a spell checker, "do not have a spell checker ," and in another post, he comments on items that a spell checker won't correct, "love the sign of lazyness to 2 two too all correct to be useds and not found wrong on spell checker " And then in his last post, he uses many multi-syllabic words that he said previous he has trouble with, "many years ago when the net was all text based people were more concerned with what others had to say then the manner it was said in. Now it seems the manner is more important then the content. The common deciancy and consideration springs up as always and rightley so .

I want a slave who is educated, who can keep up with me (or almost <g>) on an intellectual basis. While the occasional typos as well as spelling and grammar errors are understandable, if someone hasn't learned fluent language skills by the time he is old enough to consent to be a sub or slave, then he's not for me. And I'm sorry, but not having a proper grasp of one's native language *does* reveal something about the person. What it reveals to me, is that I don't need to know anything more about that person. If someone is not a native speaker of English, that is another story entirely, of course.

meatcleaver -> RE: correct grammer (5/11/2006 6:14:59 AM)
There is a qualative difference between someone to who English is a second language and someone whose first language is English. Accepting the normal typos and errors that people make when posting are usually because they are rushing and a post has a very limited life so the investment is not put into it. Grammar and articulation etc does give something of an indication to someones intelligence and education. While I don't judge people on such things, if I was looking for a relationship, I'm sure it would give me pointers as to whether I would be interested in someone or not. As just a straight forward post, as long as it is understandable I'm fine with it. Everyone has a right to have their say and IQ and education doesn't make anyone more important than the next person.

Tine11 -> RE: correct grammer (5/11/2006 6:59:17 AM)
As someone with a learning disablity, i have been known to leave words out and never notice it. I also can't spell for the life me. Please understand i am getting better thanks to my many many papers i have to do for school, but still. That is were i am weak. I can tell you everythign i am thinking, but tell me to put it on paper makes for one of the most frustrating things i come to know. Just finding the words to say what i want them to say, adn then to actually have that be what seem to mean are two very differnt things. I knwo peopel can read anythign into about anything but its improtant to be clear about your meaning, and that can be hard. Otherwise its just typos cause my mind is moving faster then my fingers.

TNstepsout -> RE: correct grammer (5/11/2006 7:02:33 AM)
quote: i just find the pattern very interesting. heartfelt I noticed the same thing too. In fact when I started reading his last post I was confused to see that he could suddenly write coherently. What I also find interesting is that, even though everyone who responded agreed that exceptions are made for those who do not speak English as a first language, he continued to defend himself. I can only wonder why he would feel the need to do that, unless he's really in the "lazy and sloppy" camp and is just hiding behind the "poor English" excuse. Which proves another point I had in mind regarding good use of the written word. It has ocurred to me that in many cases those who write sloppily/lazily also think that way.

meatcleaver -> RE: correct grammer (5/11/2006 7:16:27 AM)
I think my post was in general agreement with your sentiments. We are using written communication which unfortunately does not give anywhere near adequate insight into a person or their situation but it is all that we have unless people are inclined to investigate people further.

Proprietrix -> RE: correct grammer (5/11/2006 8:41:01 AM)
For me, engaging in written conversation and discourse with my peers is something I do because it is enjoyable. I prefer to do that with someone who can do so on a fairly equal intellectual footing, because it makes the exchange of thoughts flow more smoothly. If my mind is preoccupied with trying to translate each sentence, each paragraph, correcting spelling to decipher words in a message, and I'm getting a general reaction of scratching my head and having to re-read a paragraph 4 times to figure out what the speaker is saying, the enjoyment is immensly depleted. If we flip the equation, it's no different on the other side. I know nothing about automotive mechanics. If a bunch of my friends got together to work on cars for fun, and I was there putting sparkplugs in the tire valves, pouring oil in the gas tank, and putting the battery in the trunk, my friends would probably start getting greatly annoyed with me, and the enjoyment of the activity would transform into frustration with me. That doesn't mean they hate me or judge me. It just means they don't want to engage in that particular activity with me.

Comments welcome , My comment would be to let people know that you are just beginning to learn english. Maybe the first sentence in an email or a post.. "Please excuse my spelling and grammar, I am just learning the english language." If people continue to make you feel ignorant then my advice would be to just ignore them. Hope this helps in some way. piscess

mylittlesub -> RE: correct grammer (5/11/2006 11:28:52 AM)
As someone who must admit to having this as a pet peeve as well and someone who admires ANY one who is bilingual, I suggest that perhaps, mrpettigrew, you would be better served to begin any posts to others with a disclaimer that you do not write in English very well, and that hopefully the reader will consider this when choosing to reply. Maybe, just maybe, that will help cull out some of the mean and nasty "ha! you can't spell" retorts that really serve no other purpose than to be hurtful. That being said, I will certainly remember this the next time I get "u r a bosse bitch", and do my best to be courteous... laugh [;)]

juliaoceania -> RE: correct grammer (5/11/2006 11:42:18 AM)
I thought that he was talking about people attacking those who do not have great writing skills. Of course people want to be evenly yolked to those they involve themselves with, but there is someone for everyone. There are subs that are not well written and there are dom/mes that are not either. They can hook up with each other or with someone who does not care about writing ability. It is one thing to desire someone on your intellectual level, but it is another thing to think that just because someone does not write well no one will ever want them... That is not true, and those who are writing challenged have a right to look for love or express an opinion as much as anyone else.

ClassAct2006 -> RE: correct grammer (5/11/2006 11:50:18 AM)
It's a matter of taking care. Few vcomputers don't have Word or word processing software on them so if you have dyslexia or were not properly educated there is nothing to stop you typing elsewhere, spelling checking and then pasting in there. It depends what someone is after. I like someone who has had a similar education to me, who has a similar background, reads a lot, writes, can help my family with their spellings and homework, is on a par with those I know and work and live with. That's all. It doesn't mean there's anything wrong with people who can't write or spell and I certainly make enough typos myself. Width of vocabulary is a very good indicator too and I just like British men too so again it helps me filter on that basis too. I must say the dominant men I've been out with have all written very well and spoken well too. Also it may depend if someone is after a long term D/S relationship as I am or just wanting to play. I cede control to a man who is better than I am in most areas, cleverer etc. It is my principal filter and it works so well.

For my vote, screw all that, type here, paste there etc. By the time I did all that stuff with my CRS(can't remember shit) I would have already forgotten what I had written. For the record, I type here do a proof read then hit ok. I make typos and do make spelling errors same as everyone else. Actually I love typos they make me giggle sometimes. Only thing I won't do is try to use big fancy words, I like the simple things in life.

If that's really the case, it can't be true that only 55 people out of 100 can read what you wrote. quote: ORIGINAL: MistressLove999 fi yuo cna raed tihs, yuo hvae a sgtrane mnid too Cna yuo raed tihs?
